To allow printers to experience the superb quality, colour capability and productivity of what is now the fastest, full colour, B2 sheet-fed digital press on the market, Fujifilm is encouraging printers to get under the hood of the new Jet Press 750S at its forthcoming showcase event and learn how...

On 9th and 10th April 2019, Fujifilm is welcoming printers from across Europe to its Advanced Print Technology Centre in Brussels to see the new Jet Press 750S in action - the first opportunity to do so since its launch. Producing 3,600 B2 sheets per hour, and with improvements to its already impressive up-time (above 90% often quoted), versatility, colour capability and print quality, the Jet Press 750S makes an even stronger argument as the digital press to choose for high quality print runs of up to 5,000.

For printers currently operating a predominantly offset environment but looking to develop a digital capability to exploit the growing opportunities offered by personalisation and profitable short-run printing, the Jet Press 750S ticks all the boxes. Built on an offset chassis, the press delivers print quality at least as good as offset, thanks to its Samba inkjet printheads and superb sheet-to-sheet, front and back registration, and can hit up to 90% of the Pantone library. It also features up-time on a par with offset, and can print on standard offset stock.

This event is going to be a great opportunity for printers looking to gain a competitive advantage and expand their business, by experiencing close up the outstanding capabilities of the new Jet Press 750S. Studying sample prints or reading case studies is a good place to start when looking at a new investment, but there is nothing better than seeing a machine for yourself producing live jobs before you can really make up your mind. I’d therefore urge anyone looking at ways to improve their offset business to come along and see the Jet Press 750S live – many of our existing customers refer to that moment as the tipping point that convinced them to invest in this unique technology.

THE 20 YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF SYNAPSE: THE WORLDS FIRST WEB BASED PACS

In 1983, Fujifilm launched Fuji Computed Radiography (FCR), becoming the first company in the world to offer a digital X-ray diagnostic imaging system. Medical professionals quickly learned the merits of digital diagnostic images, including ease of storage and processing. They found that images from a variety of tests and procedures could be shared within and among facilities, and the images could even be used for remote diagnosis and consultation. Recognizing this trend, Fujifilm saw the opportunity to leverage the technologies it had developed for FCR and contribute to the evolution of connectivity within and among medical facilities. What made Fujifilm’s SYNAPSE concept different was that it used the emerging Internet and web technologies instead of private networks. It was, in essence, a Web-based PACS: the first in the world.

Offering outstanding medical connectivity based on the convenient and efficient sharing of information, SYNAPSE made possible initial diagnosis at a local clinic, followed by more complete testing and treatment at a larger medical facility, in turn followed by periodic monitoring at the original local clinic. SYNAPSE’s rapid rate of adoption was due in large part to its capability, to contribute significantly to the quality of medical care, including support for the important objective of informed consent. Nowadays 5000 Synapse PACS systems are installed in healthcare facilities around the world, earning the largest market share worldwide (**), and last September 2018 “SYNAPSE 3D”(***), 3D image analysis systems, won “Red Dot Award: Communication Design 2018 - the prestigious international design award in recognition of superior design, outstanding performance, and excellent operability.

FUJIFILM Corporation (President: Kenji Sukeno) has announced that it will release the FUJIFILM PROJECTOR Z5000 (FP-Z5000), an ultra-short throw projector equipped with the world's first* “folded two-axial rotatable lens” to enable omnidirectional image projection without moving the main projector unit. FP-Z5000 is an innovative projector which is able to be set up in places where a conventional projector could not be placed due to severe space constraints, and throw powerful images in directions that other projectors cannot handle. With the launch of this projector in April 2019, Fujifilm will make a full entry into the projector market in its drive for further business expansion.

Today, projectors are used in a wide variety of situations including theaters, offices and educational institutions. More recently, demand for projectors has increased due to their applications for digital signage at commercial facilities, product PRs at business showrooms or design projection at art galleries / museums. This has increased the needs for projectors to be used for effective advertising in limited space, and spatial presentation using walls and ceilings.

FP-Z5000's main features

FP-Z5000 is equipped with the folded two-axial rotatable lens developed with Fujifilm's cutting-edge optical technology nurtured through the development of FUJINON lens. It gives this projector a capability of directing the lens up, down, front, rear, left and right to project images in various directions without having to move the main unit. This means it can project images not only on a wall or screen but also on the ceiling and floor, and easily switch between vertical and horizontal display.

The use of the ultra-short throw lens makes it possible to project images on a 100-inch screen from the close-up distance of just 75cm.

The class-leading** Lens Shift function*** of up to 82% vertically and 35% horizontally makes it easy to adjust the position of projected images across a wide range.

The FP-Z5000 uses large-diameter spherical and aspherical lens elements, based on Fujifilm's advanced know-how in optical design, and a laser light source with outstanding durability. This reduces distortion and aberration edge-to-edge for stable projection of bright and vivid images.

* According to Fujifilm as of February 13, 2019.

The FP-Z5000 supports both vertical*4 and horizontal positioning, allowing you to choose how it should be installed according to users' environment.

The projector comes in a compact body measuring just 108mm thick, the thinnest in its class**. Its design approach allows the lens and the main projector unit to fold into a box shape for added portability.

It has beautifully rounded corners for a stylish appearance, achieved in Fujifilm's pursuit for design sophistication.

*4 The vertical installation requires the use of a stand (included) to prevent the projector from tipping over.
